Forecasts

Buster Valentine (3/1), Eternally Yours (5/1), Silva Eclipse (5/1), Better Getalong (11/2), Spirit Of Kayf (12/1), Seemorelights (12/1), One For Harry (14/1), Uppertown Prince (14/1), Crixus's Escape (16/1), Dubai Angel (22/1), Too Many Chiefs (25/1), Traditional Dancer (33/1)

Verdict

Silva Eclipse is much respected, but at the same time vulnerable, while the Nicky Richards' pair Better Getalong and One For Harry could both runs big races. However, BUSTER VALENTINE gets the nod on his handicap debut from what looks a workable mark. Eternally Yours and Seemorelights are others of interest.
  1. Buster Valentine
  2. Better Getalong
  3. Silva Eclipse
